So what is an argonaut? Webster's says...an adventurer engaged in a quest. My quest is finding treasures in birds, landscapes and more around Erie.

Well, we got up early and headed to Pittsburgh to get our car back. They said it was just low transmission fluid. We had the oil changed and the other fluids checked just two weeks ago and they said they were fine. The tow truck driver checked the trans fluid and said it looked OK, too. But then I take what he said with a grain of salt being he couldn't find the dipstick for the transmission and we had to show him where it was at. There has been no evidence of a leak. Not a spot on the driveway. But, OK, I have to accept that that is what was wrong because it does work now. So it comes down to the fact that it took 6 days to fill the transmission fluid up. But at least it only cost about $100 for repairs, about 1/5 the cost of the total expenses of this breakdown.

The trees are in blossom as well as tulips and daffodils everywhere in Pittsburgh and it was the nicest day down there. The leaves are already sprouting a beautiful spring green on the countryside as you go south. It was a gorgeous day.
